This is a list of Lollapalooza lineups, sorted by year. Lollapalooza was a travelling music festival organized by Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell and occurred annually from 1991 to 1997. The concept was revived in 2003, but was cancelled in 2004. From 2005 onward, the concert has taken place exclusively at Grant Park, Chicago, and has played in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and France.

The tour was the beginning of the end for headliners Jane's Addiction. Of their performance at the very first show, Melody Maker complained: "'Pigs in Zen' is a calamity, 'Idiots Rule' is worse and 'Stop!' is almost tragic. The grand climax becomes farcical when Navarro's guitar cuts out, leaving the rest of the band high and dry. The guitarist takes off his guitar and hoists it high into the air. It arcs and tailspins about forty feet from the stage, almost impaling some poor spectator." Attempting an encore - reportedly 'Ocean Size' - Navarro and singer Perry Farrell instead began fighting.[7] "I don't remember what was specifically behind all that," said the former in 2001. "In a weird way, it was yet another indication of our closeness. The only other person I can remember getting into a fist fight with is my father, who I love more than anything in the world. And I love Perry too." "Dave didn't want to do any more songs that day," countered Farrell, "and I didn't accept it... It hadn't been enough of a show... It was stupid, though."[8]

Several of the artists, including Green Day and Cypress Hill, skipped at least one Lollapalooza date to appear at Woodstock '94 instead. Nirvana was scheduled to headline but officially pulled out on April 4, 1994[], amid rumors that the band was on the verge of breaking up. Frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead in Seattle, Washington four days later on April 8, 1994. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, made surprise guest appearances at several shows, speaking to the crowds about the loss.[1] In New York, she greeted the crowd with "Hello, Generation Ecch!", a reference to Jason Cohen and Michael Krugman's Generation Ecch!: the Backlash Starts Here (Prentice Hall & IBD, 1994). Having met the authors at a party, she deemed the book hilarious, saying, "Kurt would have loved the mean stuff."[9]

"The worst thing was the venues," observed The Prodigy's Liam Howlett. "They were all seated. Obviously people don't sit down to watch The Prodigy, but the security people were making them sit down. You had all the expensive seats at the front and the moshpit at the back. It was all wrong."[12]
